I have a system with an AMD64 Athlon in it.  The system itself ran very well.  However, there were some problems with Firefox and the plugins.  After reading up on fixing the problems, I decided to change the OS to a regular 32-bit OS.  I had Ubuntu 64 installed, and I liked Ubuntu, I just hated that there were only bandaid solutions for 64-bit issues.  Thus, I decided to stick with Ubuntu.<\/p>\n<p>I downloaded the standard 8.04 cd and began my install.  I selected to format my \/boot partition and keep my \/ partition.  My root partition included my \/home directory and I didn&#039;t care to lose my files.  The installer informed me that they would delete all my system files, but migrate my documents, not only from my \/home but also from my Windows partition.  I decided to migrate the files in my \/home partition and not the files from my Windows partition.<\/p>\n<p>I had a lot of customizations and I didn&#039;t want to loose my program data.  I crossed my fingers and hit next.<\/p>\n<p>I now have an updated system with all the plugins working for firefox.  All my files were transferred along with all my program settings.  I started Pidgin, it logged me into my accounts and messaged away.  I opened firefox, started to type in a url and my history came up.  Everything transferred!!!  I&#039;m very happy.<\/p>\n<p>I&#039;m still loving my TX though.  It gets me through the day.<\/p>\n<p>Jay C.
